Reading the blurb of it it sounds really interesting Cheryl I can definitely see the overlap. Good to know where to go when I'm ready to get a more in depth account of this
It's worth buying for $20. It is not a slick, hypnotic read, quite the opposite. I think its corniness and some would argue dated crunchiness actually add to the authenticity of this (specifically ecofeminist) offering. In fact I think it's easily important enough to deserve a bit more salt, preferably salt sprinkled by Marie-Louise Von Franz. MLVF's "The Feminine in Fairytales" can, in my opinion, temper some of the Seenarine book's most gamey, membranous essentialism without neutralizing the urgency of its message.
I haven't read it, but it makes me think of Simians, Cyborgs, and Women by Donna Haraway, which is on my shelf to read. I'd love to hear more about Seenarine's book!
It is worth procuring a copy of Seenarine's book. In my opinion Haraway is worth reading but I feel she's also kind of a hack, which I realize is sacrilege to say, but it's my honest opinion. Her writing seems to hydroplane in a way that offends even my own penchant for the ethereal. I prefer less of that stylized dissociation, even if that means it's never elevated in the academic world. Seenarine's book isn't perfect, in fact has a fair amount of editing errors, but has the traction I prefer.
This reminds me of a book called "Cyborgs vs The Earth Goddess", by M Seenarine.

Love this balancing act! Good to have in mind before reading

I'll keep that in mind 😄
